Let's say x = 15% copper and y = 75% copper
We need 120 kg of a 51% copper alloy.
A) x + y = 120
B) .15x + .75y = 61.2 (which is 120*.51%)
Multiplying A by -.15
A) -.15x  -.15y = -18 Then add this to B
.60y = 43.2
y = 72
x = 48
I'd suggest you look at this web page
http://www.1728.org/mixture.htm
***************************************
Double Check
48 kilograms of .15% copper = 7.2 kg copper
72 kilograms of .75% copper = 54 kg kg copper
So we have 61.2 kg of copper in 120 kg
61.2 / 120 = .51 = 51%

Transactions to a computer database are either new items or changes to previous items. the addition of an item can be completed
sashaice [31]

P(<100) = P((new or change) & <100) = P(new & <100) + P(change & <100)

... = P(<100 | new)*P(new) + P(<100 | change)*P(change)

... = 0.90*0.70 + 0.20*0.30

... = 0.63 + 0.06 = 0.69 . . . . probability of completing a transaction in < 100 ms

Given that the measure of angle 6 is 1/8 of measure of angle 4. Find the measures of these two angles if a∥b.
vredina [299]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ∠4 be x then ∠6 is \frac{1}{8} x

∠4 and ∠6 are same side interior angles and are supplementary, thus

x + \frac{1}{8}x = 180

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fraction

8x + x = 1440, that is

9x = 1440 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 160

Hence ∠4 = 160° and ∠6 = 160° ÷ 8 = 20°

Rewrite the following expression using the properties of logarithms: log2z + 2log2z + 4log9y + 12log9x - 2log2y
Mashcka [7]

The rewritten form of the expression given in the task content in which case, the properties of the logarithm are used is; log2(z³/y²) + log9(y⁴x¹²).

<h3>What is the equivalent expression to the logarithmic expression given in the task content?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the logarithmic expression given in the task content is;

log2z + 2log2z + 4log9y + 12log9x - 2log2y

In which case, all terms are to their respective logarithmic bases.

Hence, it follows that; we have;

log2z³ - log2y² + log9y⁴ + log9x¹²

= log2(z³/y²) + log9(y⁴x¹²)
